Episode Details

ZZ Top drummer Frank Beard, the steady heartbeat of the band since 1969, has passed away at 77 after a peaceful passing at his Texas ranch. A true innovator and Texas icon, his rhythmic genius shaped ZZ Top’s legendary sound — and Billy Gibbons called him irreplaceable. Though the tour is paused, the band plans to honor him at Austin City Limits, one of his favorite stages. His loss echoes deeply across blues rock — and his beat will never be forgotten.
